Patented July 28, 19M` 7 SHEETS-SHEET in a direction abeut'its point of pivotal support to causel the blade 19 todrop upon the peper lying upon paper and force the fold through the opening; 18. The arm 29 is adapted to he rocked Y in the opposite direction to raise the blade The shaft 29 receives its motion from what might he termed the main shaft 3l and this shaft 3l receives its motion' trom any suitable power, preferably from a motor 32 (reference being had now more particularly to l and 2) mounted upon frame Work. The shaft 33 oi the motor is provided with gear 34 which meshes With an idle gear '85 having a gear 36 secured thereto and tor rc- 'tation therewith. This @gear 36 meshes with a 87 on a shaft 38. The gear 37 is mounted loosely upon a shaft 38 and is provided With, a clutch face adapted to cooperate with a clutch member 40 connected with a gear 4l and this lrear 41 is secured to the shaft 8 8 for rotation therewith. The clutch elements 39, 40, are provided 'for a purpose tqbe hereinafter set forth. The gear 4l meshes with a gear 42011 a shaft 43 for a pin'pose to behereinaiter set forth. 7lfhe gear 37 transmits its motion to the shaft 3l throdgh the medium 'of intermediate gears, one of'vrhich gears 44 meshes with the geur 37 and also with a gear 45, the gear in turn meshiruif with a gear 4G on the shaft 3l. Tl'ius'it will be seen that when the nio: tor 32 is ruoeratinr,r all or the gears just described will he rotated as Well as the shaft 31. .The 'rotary motion of the shaft 3l is imparted@ the shaft 29 throughv the medium of intenmeshing bevel gears 46 (see Fin. 3), one of'which gearsfl is secured to the shaft 3l and the other is mounted loosely upon the shaft 29 and s provided with a clutch :tace 4T.v A `clutch element 48a coperatinp; with the clutch face 47 is secured to the shaft 29 for rotation therewith and is adapted to be shifted longitudinally on the shaft to be moved into and out of active position with relation to the clutch element 47 to lock the gear 46 to the shaft 29 for rota tion therewith and for releasing the gear with respecty to the shaft.

the tableJ 16 and when l the hlade strikes the paper it will fold the paper tohe fed onto a stop 57 to position the paper VThe articles may be fed to the table 1G from the incline or chute 17 1n any desired or suitable manner. A cient manner of thus supplying will now be described and comprises a pair of feeding rolls 48, (reference being nouY had more, particularly to Fig. l) arranged one above the other into the bite of which Athe paper `is fed from the incline or chute 17. These rolls are adapted to grip the paper und force it between the rolls and deliver it in a half fold upon the table 16. Motion may be `imparted to these rolls in any suitable manner, preferably from the shaft 31 through the medium of the gear 46, which gear meshes/With an idler 49 and thisidler 49 in turn meshes With a gear 50, Which latter meshes with a gear 5l. A gear 52 is connected with said gear 51 for rotation therewith and meshes with a gear 53. This gear 53 meshes with a gear 54 connected With one of the feed rolls 48 and alsowith a gear 55 which in turn meshes with a gear 56 connected with the other of the feed rolls 48. Thus 4it will he seen that the same source or power may be employed for operatingir the r'eed rolls. A i

As the paper is fed upon the table 16, its feeding motion may be arrested by means of with respect to the folding blade or knife 19. This stop 57 is adapted to be moved into and out of active positionv alternately with rejecting3 rolls 58, 59, and the stop is connected with the rolls 58, 59 for such operation in any suitable manner, preferably by means of an arm 60 pivoted at 61 intermediate its ends and upon oneend ,of which arm is mounted one of the rolls 58. The other end of the arm is connected to a crank arm 62, secured to a rock shaft 63 and this shaft 63 in turn is connected with a sleeve or collar 64 which supports the stop 57. This movementris imparted to the rolls 58, 59, and the stop 57 from a shaft 65 through the medium of a cam G6, which latter engages one arm oli' a bell crank lever 67 and to the other arm of which lever is connected a vlink 68 which 'in turn is connected as' at 69 With the arm 60. The specific construction and operation of the ejecting rollers and stop 57 and the manner in which they operate alternately form no part of the vsubject matter of the present application but of the subject matter-'of my co-pending application, Serial No. 603,658, to which application reference may be had for the description and opera-tion of the parts not. spe'- ciically describedherein. Suiice it to say, however, that the ejecting rolls 58,. 59, are

given El rotary motion'through the medium of a train of gears 70, 7l, 72, 73, 74, 75 and 76.

The rolls 58 and 59, are rendered inactive and the stop 57 maintained active preferably suitable 'and eithe articles u constitute a port-ion by means which will noyv be described and which means also constitutes a porti-on of the above referredt'o application. A baror.y

rod. 77 (see Figs, l and 2) is connected'by one extremity with the arm -and the other extremity passes through a guide 78 and is threaded to receive a nut or collar 79. An elastic member 80 surrounds the bar or rod 77 between its point of connection with the arm 60 and the guide 78 and tendsnormally to exert its `tension in a direction to move the roll 58 into operating position With re? shifted by the cam 66, it will be manifest that the stop .'57 Will be vheld in an active position.

l'f desired, the papers maybe supplied with I Y an address and any suitable means may be provided for thus addressing the papers. vA suitable and efficient' mechanisn'i especially adapted for this purposefis described'and claimed in Patent No. 1,075,966, issued to Sandford C. Cox October 14, 1918, to which patent reference may be had for the specific l construction and operation of such mechanism. However, this mechanism may be arL ranged in the presentmachine .so as to apply an address to.the papers after they have been delivered upon -the table 16 and preferably before they have been given their' quarter fold the folding blade or knife 19, which fold, for the sake of convenience, ywill hereinafter be referred to as what is known in the trade asa quarter fold. ,The4

address applying elements, one of which is designated by the reference numeral 81 in Fig. 1 may he supplied by the conveyor 82 to a proper position with respect to the-paper on the table 16 and is adapted to be elevated in the manner .set forth in the. patent of Sandford C. COX above referred to, by means of a cam on the' shaft 65 and when in this elevated position, ya stamper 83 is adapted to be loweredhy means of another cam on the g shaft 65 so to strike the paper' and force A' it into engagement With vthe address applying element 81 inthe manner as set forth in both said application and said patent abovereferred to. After the address has been applied this stamper 83 is elevatedand the folding' blade or knife 19 lowered so as to strike the paper and force it through the' opening 18 -in the table 16 (see also Fig. 2).

As the folded portion of the paper passes through the` opening 18 in the table 16, it passes into the bite of' folding rolls 8 4 refered beneath the table and which grip vrpl'ls 84 and spaced therefrom.A A third pair paper and draw it. through the opning 18. From; these"` rolls 811 the folded paper is passed-'between another pair of rolls ,85 arranged preferably beneath the first pair of of folding rolls 86 is arranged beneath the second pair of rolls and spaced therefrom and the last pair of rolls is adapted to receive'the paper from the second' pair. One of therolls of each pair ispreferably mounted in yielding bearings so that they may be adjusted with respect to the coperating roll of the respective pairs to accommodate papers of various thicknesses and in order that the rolls, which are mounted in the yielding bearings, may be readily adjusted with relation to the-respective rolls of the' ip air, an adjusting arm or lever 87 a is provided vhich is arranged in a, convenient position for the operator and is connected in any de- 85 sired or suitable manner to t-he adjustable rollsv of the pairs whereby the latter may be adjusted at Will. Motion is imparted to these folding rolls 84, 85, 86, from the shaft 29 through the mediumo'f ay gear 87 (see FigfQ) Which meshes with an idler 88, thev latter in turn meshingI with' another idler 89. A gear 90 meshes with the idler 89 and also Withra gear 91, which latter in' tnrn meshes with a gear 92. The gears 91,l 92, respectively vmeshwith gears '98, 9d on the rolls of the pair 8e and also respectively mesh with 'gears 95, 96 on the rolls'of the pair 85 hese gears 95, 96, respectively mesh with idlers 9.7, 98, and these in turn respectively mesh with gears 99, 100 on the rolls of the pair 86. The paper after it has reachedl thisv point in the machine Will have been folded from the half-folded condition' in which it was delivered upon the V105v table 16 into a quarter-fold and may be de-v vlive-red directlyfrom the machine from this/ point in this condition, or a further foldmay be given to the paper so that it may be de` livered from the machine in What is known as an eighth-fold. Y'

As theA delivery mechanism for receiving and conveying away the folted paper is the 'same Whether' the paper is folded into a quarter or an Veighth fold, the mechanism 115- Whereby the paper may be fedto the conveying and delivering mechanism in a quar# ter-fold will `first be described, reference being had more particularly to Figs. 5 and '7.

The rolls 86 preferably comprise a series of 120 spaced rolls as shown more clearly ,inl Fig. 7 and arranged adjacent this pair of rolls 'is a series of guide ,plates'lOL Isaid guides being curved'as shown and are adapted'to projectinto the spaces between the adiacent rolls.V These guide plateslOl are each supported by means of an arm 102 Which arms are secured to a rock shaft 108 in any desired or suitable manner and may be held in -position iv'ith respect to the rock shaft by any 13e suitable fastening notice 1011. The shaft103 uprightly as shown in Fig. 2 andjpass over is journaled in any suitable iixed portion of' suitable pulleys mounted upon a suitable the frame and one extremity thereof projects support 116 forming an extension in the beyond the front of the supporting framed?)l frame. The upright portions of the endless n as shown more clearly in Fig. 2 andan arm 4conv'eyers lead bpreferably to a point some 7&3 or handle 105 is secured to this .projecting exdistance above. the top of the machine at. treinity of the shaft by meansof which the which point the conveyer 112 passes over ar shat'niay be rocked. `Wherr it is desired to pulley 117 and the conveyer- 113 over deliver the papers from the machine directly a. pulley 118, the latter being arranged prefl from the rolls 86 in a quarter-folded condierably some distance above the pulley 117. 75

On this shaft 29 fiat portion of the face will be arranged in is arranged a sprocket wheel i12-1 over which line with the bite of the rolls 106, 86, so that a sprocket chain 125 passes and a vsprocket when the paper is deected by the guide ll Wheel 126 is O1linaled upon the support 127 into tlie'bite of these rollers, it will pass over which the other end of the sprocket 10o from between these rollers onto the at por- Chain 125 passes. .second sprocket wheel tibn110 across the top of the guide 107.- Thc (not shown) is connected with the sprocket upper face or the rear of the guide 107 'l5 Wheel 126 for rOtttlOn therewith and preferably curved downwardly as at 111 and sprocket chain 128 passes over this second '40 this portion 111 eoincides with the face 110 sprocket wheell and also over a sprocket 105 to form a continuation of the surface over wheel 128C. A gear 129 is connected with the which the paper moves. -lromthe guide 107 pulley 117 and mesheswith an idle gear 130 the paper passes between two endless conwhich in turn meshes with a gear 131 and veyers 112, 113, one of which is arranged the latter gear meshes witha gear 132 on the i5 above the other and with one of the runs or' pulle f 11S of the endless eonveyer 113. A 11u one conveyer in close `",proxin'iity to one of gear 133 is secured for rotation with the the runs of the Aother conveyer. These endgear 130 and this gear 133 in turn meshes less conveyors 112, 113 are preferably -with a gcar'13e1 which is secured for rotation Vformed of tapes or exible members and the with this sprocket wheel 1,283. Thus it will lreceiving or forward end of the uppermost be seen that when the shaft 29 is rotated, 115

conveyer passes over the pulley 114C which motion will be imparted by means of the is arranged in close proximity to the guide sprocket chains 125, '123, to the gear 13d and 107 and some distance in advance of the this `egearwill in turn impart motion to the pulley 115 over which the forward end of endless conveyers 112, 113 and 121. A. belt the other conveyor 113 passes. It will thus tightener 135 may be provided for the con- 1201 .be seen that when th'e paper passes from the ve-yer 121. n

guide 107, the end thereof will be presentedy 1n order to prevent the rorward edge of between the runs of the,endless conveyers the paper as it pasf -s ou: the guide L07 112, 113, which are in closeI proximity to each from striking the forward end of the cnd- 50 other and will be conveyed by these conless conveyor 112 and being deected up- 125 veyers trom the machine in the following wardly between the end of the conveyer112 ina-nner. The endless conveyers are arand the roll S6, and further, 1n order to ranged with. a substantially horizontal por-` properly direct the paper over'tlhe guide .107 tion which irst receives the paper and the to the endless conveyers, additional guides "55 rear portion o the conveyers are arranged 136 are provided', which guides are arranged 1.30V

between the forward portions of the coneyer tapes 112 and the roll 86, and these guidesV 136 are supported by a shaft 137 (see also Fig. 6). Thus it Will he seen that if the s forward or. folded end of the paper-as 1t V'passes from the bite of the rollers and onto theguide 107 has a tendency to deflect up- Wardly, it .will .strike the guides 136 which latter will holdthe end from; curling upward i and willI cause the paper to be properly recled to the conveyers112, 113. AThus 1t will be seen that `when it. is 'desired to give to the papers a quarter fold, the guides 101 and 107 must be adjusted to the positions4 shown in Fig. 5.v The manner of adjust ing the guide 107 into or out of the pos1' v tion shown in Fig. 5 will be presently -described. f 1

' Should the. occasion require and it is de- `sired that the pa ers shall notbe ejected or delivered from t e machine in a quarter- ""'folded"' condition, but it is desiredinsted to impart another fold to the thus folded aper so that it will be folded intowhat .is kncwn to the tradeas an eighth fold, this Y additioiml fold is eiectedin a manner whichwill now be described.- lnlorder therefore to fold me paper into an eighth fold, the guidesll must be adjusted from. the posigc tion shawn in full lines in Fig. 5 to that shown in dbtted lines so as to move the guide plates 101 out of lthe path of movement of the advancing quartenfolded paper. This is .accomplished by rocking the shaft 103 by means of thehandle 105 so asto drop the guide plates'lOl to 'permit the papersto continue downwardly from between the rolls 86 without being deflected betweenthe left hand roll' 8G and the roll 106. I As the papers .are fed between the pairs of rolls 84,. 85, 86, they will continue downwardly a predetermined dist-ance and when .they have reached ,the limit of this downward movement, the peper will be struck intermediate its ends .by `a secon-d folding knife or blade 138 (reference beinrnow had more particularly to Figs.V 2, 'and 8). suming that it is desired to'delivcr the papers' from the machine after they have been given their eighth fold the guide 107 is permitted to .remain in the position shown in Fig. 5 so that when the `knife or bladef138 strikes the paper intermediate its edges', the

paper will be deflected s o that the lfolded edge willjbe presented to the bite -of the rolls 106, 8 0, and these, rolls will grip the paper and feed it over the face 1.10, 111, of the guide 107 to the conveyers A112, 113, which latter will receive and deliver the paper in its eighth fold condition from the machine in the manner as has already been dcs'c'nibed.` ln order teeifect this actionof the knilf'ecr .blade 138 at the propertirne, ."suitrlbler mechanism must 'be provided for g5 imparting motion, .preferably a reciproca- '140 which are journaled 'to move about a ynected -by one end as at 144 tothe link 140 tory motiomtothe'knifc or blade which will now be described. A cross head 139 is pro` vided topwhich the knife or blade 138 is secured and is supported by means of links suitable axle 141. A lever 142 is pivoted intermediate its ends, preferably to the shaft 21' and isconnected at'one end tothe link 140 in any suitable manner, preferably by means of a link 143.l This link 143 is pivotally conand by its other end as at 145 to the'lever 142l point of pivotalsupport, the link 143 will cause the link 140 to be moved about its point of pivotalzsupport' 141 toadvance or retract the knife or blade 138. Thel lever 142 is preferably rocked by means of a cani A146 on the shaft 29, which cam-engages an antifrictionv roller 147 on'the' end 148 of the leve1' 142.......It-.will thus -be seen that when rotatedV and will tend to move the lever 142 to retract-the knife or blade 138. A for-l .ward movement is imparted to the knife or blade 138V toA cause it to strike and ,fold the paper preferably by means f an elastic member b149 which surrounds a bar or rod'lO, which latter is connected 'by one extremity .is at 151 with the link'140 andthe other end passes through a guide 152 and is lthreaded as at 153. Thevelastic member 149 is arranged between the guide 152 and the link 140 and tends normally to exert its tension in a direction to force the knife or blade 138 'forwardly toward the paper and also'tends' to hold the anti-friction roller 147 in close proximity to the pe! riphery of the cam 1.46 so that when the cam .is rotated and the lever 142 is rocked thereby, the cam will rock the lever against the tension of the elastic member 149. A nut or collar 154 is provided on lthe threaded extremity 153 of the bar or rod 150 and serves as a means whereby the knife or blade 138 may be held in its retractedposition against Aso that when the 'lever' 142 is rocked aboutV its the shaft 29 isrotated the cam 146s will be the' tension of the elastic member 149, by!

being screwedfupon a threaded extremity ofv the bar or rod 150 until it 'is in engagement with the .cuide 152. It will be manifest that inasmuch as the shaft 29 must be rotated to impart motion to the pairs of rolls 84,85, 86,

aswell as other. portions of the mechanisms, unlessthis second knifey or blade 138 is rendered 4inactive when it is not desired to fold the paper into an eighth-.fold, it would strike the yguides 1'01 when the latter are adjusted se as te conduct the papers from the machine in a quarter-folded condition, and

The Wrapper designated generally by the reference numeral 159 is supplied to the machine from any suitable source,- preterably from avroll mounted in any convenient position on the machine and this Wrapper passes between rolls 160 (see Fig. 1) which receive their motion 'from the gear 41 on the shat't 38 which gear meshes with a gear 161 and this gear in turn with a gear 162 on one of the rolls 163 and the gear 162 meshes with a gear 163 on the other of the rolls 160. A second pair spaced from the lpair 160 andthe Wrapper 159 passes between these rolls. The rolls 164 also receive their motion from the gear 41 through the medium of a gear 165 with which the gear 41 meshes and the gear 166 on one of the rolls 164e which meshes with the gear 165. A gear 167 is provided en the other of the rolls 164 and meshcswith said gear 166. rlille pairs of rolls-160 and'lf are l arranged on opposite sides ci the shafts 38,

From the rolls 175 lthe Wrapper passes between endless Vconreyers or tapes 178,179, (see also Fig. 3.) and is conveyed into a position across the path of movement et. with the Wrap.

When the perfo A similar roll 171 is 181, the edges 182 of the supportlSO adja-- cent the slot 181 beingv curved or deflectedl downwardly as shown, to serve as a means for properly guiding the paper and Wrapper S into the bite of the rolls 86. This slot 181 is arranged in line with the bite of these rolls 86 and the endless coiiveyers 178, 179 areSO arranged that Vthe Wrapper which is conveyed therebywill be moved uponl the surface of the support`180 to extend across the slot 181 so that as the paper is being ejected from the pairs of rolls 85 the folded edge of the paper'will strike the portion of the wrapper extending across the slot 181 and carry'the wrapper with it between the rolls 86. The wrapperis severed from the strip in any suitable'inanner, preferably by imparting amore rapiddegrec of rotation to the robs 17 5 than to the rolls 1041, as will be understoo-d. It will thus be seen that after the paperis'givena quarter fold it will strike the wrapper and carry the wrapper with, it

l paper and wrapperwill be conveyed away frointhe machine in the manner which has already-'been described, and the paper alfthough it is supplied with awrapper will not be sealed, that is to say, the wrapper 40 will simplv encompass the paper without being pasted or sealed. In order' to overcome this objection and to vseal the wrapper after it has been thus applied to the paper, suitable sealing mechanism is provided .5 whiclrwill now be described, reference'being had more particularly to Figs. 4 and 5. Arranged below the pairs' of rolls 86 is a paste pot 188 across which a roll 18d is journaled and to which paste is delivered by means of a roll 185. VRotary motion is iniparted to the roll 185 by means of a gear 180 on'the shaft 187 of the roll with which gear 186 agear 188 on a shaft 189 meshes,

and rotary motion is imparted to` this shaft 189 through the medium of a gear 190 in a manner \\'l -ch will hereinafter be explained.

A. paper receiving. pocket designated gener-v ally by the reference numeral 191 in Fig.

11 preferably comprises a plurality of sj'iaced'forks or pairs of guides 192 and the extremities of the body portion of the pocketare provided with trunnions 193 jou'rnaled in arms 19d and these arms 194 are in turn supported by a'Y shaft 1951 (see also Fig. 2:).

55"1he forks or pairsk 0f guides" 192 are of 'length' so .that the pocket formed thereby will be of a depth substantially? eqiial to the width of the folded paper which is delivered thereiiito in a manner to be described -and so that when the paper is seated in. this 7@ pocket, together with the wrapper, one edge of the wrapper'will project for some di."-

tance beyond the paper and the edge of the poclret'to form a iap to be sealed down upon the paper. The pocket thus formed is 73 recited on its triinnions 198 in the bearings in the arms 194 by means of a cain 196 on Ia shaft 197 `(see also Fig. 1) and this cani" 196 operates on an anti-friction roller -198 on an arm 199 which is provided with a bifurcated extremity 200 standing astride of the shaft 197.v The other extremity of the arm 199 is pivoally connected to an'ear'or .extension 201 projecting from the pocket 191 (see Fig. 11)-, so that as the shaft 197 is rotated the cam 196 will through the medium of the arm 199-r0ck the paper pocket about s its point of pivotal support.

1n order to direct the paper into the pocket 191, the guide 107 must .be shifted from the position shown in full lines in Fig. 5 to that shown in dotted lines so as to move the surface 110 to a position that the paper will not pass there-over. This is accomplished in any suitable manner and a siniple and eiiicient means for eiecting this adjustment will now be described. The guide 107 is provided adjacent one end with upwardly projecting spaced ears or lugs 203 (see Figs. Sand 6) between which an arin 201 on the shaft 187 projects', and the shaft is provided with a handle 205 (see Fig. 2

arranged on the outside of the machine and fin a convenient osition for the operator, bynieans of whip the shaft may be rocked. The guide 107l is" "provided with a curved face )Onadjaoei'it the roll 100, which face when in the `position shown in dotted lines is adaptedrto be engaged by the edge of the paper so that the paper will be deflected when it strikes the face 4between the-rolls 106- and 208. It will thusbe- `seen that the shaft 137`may be roc'ked by means of the arni 20.5 at will so as to adjust the guide 10T so that the curved face 200 will be disposed across the path of the advancing movement of the paper as it passes from the between .the rolls 106, 86.v The vguides 186 are also 'adjestedto the position shown in dottedlines in Fig. 5 so as to be moved out of the 120 way, te4 permit the above referred to adjustment of the guide 107. As the paper rides over the face 206 of the guide, andV assuming thejpocket to be in the position shown in full lines in Fig. 5, the paper together with the wrapper will be directed intov the pocket.

*In order to advance the papers as theypass fronrb'etween the rolls106, 85, and to force them into the pocket 191,'the roll 208 is pro# vided" which coperaties' with :the rol-1 .100 I and this roll 208 is preferably of a segmental shape 1nd isniounted on the shaft 109. By the Iprovision of this segmental-shape roll 2081t is possiblefto arrange the pocket 191 in such a position that* the extremities of the forks (ir-guides 192 thereof will be ldisposed in close proximity to the periphery of the roll 106 and the cut-away portion of the rolly 208 will permit the pocket to be freely oscillated and the ends of the forks or guides will not strike the rolls.

Arranged adjacent the pulley 115 and also adjacent the roll 208 is a roll 209 which is also disposed in close proximity to the segmental roll 208 so that the latterwill cpopcrate therewith. When the pocket is 1n a position to receive the paper, the roll 208 will cooperate with the roll 106 to'force the paper l,Vhen the paper and wrapper have been seated in the pocket, the free edge of the wrapper will `reject beyond the pocket and also beyond the top edge of the paper. jitter this operation has been completed the can 196 will have assumed a position with respectto the lanti-friction roller 198, to shift the arm 190and rock the pocket about its point ot pivotal support so as to bring the free extremities of the forks 0r `ruides 192 into the position as shown in otted lines in `Fig. 5 to present the paper to the bite of the rolls 208, 209.

During the movement of the pocket from the time in Vwhich it receives the paper and i into a position so that the paper Will be directed into the bite of the rolls 208, 209, the high portion of the roll 208 Will be in contact with the Hap of the Wrapper and while .the ocket is being moved into the position u' iich it assumes when the paper 'is' to be ejected, the roll 208 will serve as al means for turning the flap of the Wrapper over the edge ot the paper and against the body portion ot the wrapper, adhesive material being applied to the Wrapper previous to this `folding movement in such manner as will be presently described. 1t will be apparent that when the parts have as.- sumcd this position, and the'paper is ejected from the pocket, the liap edge of the Wrap'- per and the paper will be forced into the bile of thc rolls 209, and these rolls will not-only serve as a means tor sealingv dou'n the flap but will also force the wrapped paper between the Vadjacent runs of the conveyors 112, 113, to be conveyed auay by these conveyers and delivered from the mgtchine' in the manner as already set forth.

The manner of applying the paste orv adhesive material to the.A body portion of the wrapper orisealing down the flap will now be described. Pivotally supported, prefer? ably by one extremity and adjacent opposite. sides of the paste, tank 183, reference being and the wrapper thereinto.`

l had more particularly to and 5, are

spaced arms or supports 210 in the upper extremities of Which are upwardly opening sockets or bearings 211 and a shaft 212 the in c ose proximity to the distributingl roll- 184 and mounted upon the shaft 212 for rotation therewith are ductorv` rolls 213 which are adapted to be moved into and out of contact With the distributing roll 181 when the arms or supportsI 210 are rocked about their points of pivotal support 214C and also to move the ductor.,1'olls 21S into engagement with the body portion of the Wrapper on the paper which is in the pocket. A'These ductor rolls 213 are preferably spaced from each other as shown more clearly in so as to move into engagement with tie Wrapper betvveenthe forks or spaced guides 192. The ductor rolls 213 are adapted to be oscillated from the shaft 197 and for this `purpose there is provided on the shaft 19i7 a cam 215 Which cooperates with an antifriction roller 216 on an arm 217. One exgg tremity of the arm 217 is bifureated as at 218 so as to stand astride of the shaft 197 and the other eXtremity of the arm is connected to an arm or extensi that when the shaft 197 rotates the cam 215, the latter Will reciprocate the' arm 217 and cause the supports 210 and ductor roll 213 to Imove into engagement with the distribut ing roll 1811. The movement. ot the ductor me) rolls 213 in the opposite'direction or away from the distributing roll 184 into engagement'with the Wrapper may be effected in any desired or suitable manner but pref` erably through the medium of an elastic nos member 220 which surrounds a bar or rod 221, one extremity of which, is connected as at 222 with the supports 210 and preteaal'bly on the side opposite to the side on. which the arm 217 is connected.v The other end oi this v'bar' or rod 221 passes'thro'ugh a suitable guide 223 and is threaded as shown for the reception of a nut or collar 224. This elastic member 220 is preferably arranged between the guide 228 and a. collar 225 connected 15H5 w'ith the bar or rod so that the tension of the elastic member 220V tends normally to move the ductor rolls 213 toward the pocket 191. By' the provision of the elastic member for moving the ductor rolls in this direction it. will be apparent that the rolls will be vyielding and will readily assume positions to accommodate papers of varying thicknesses which are deposited into the pockets.

ln\ order o adjust Athe movement of the duetor rolls under the influence o1' the cam 215, a pinS-and slot connection is provided between the arm 217 and the projection 219 of the supports 210. The slot 226 is provided in the extension 219 and the pin-227 A 1S e' journaled in these bearings to extendacross 70 aste tank. Thevshatt 212 is arranged..

`on 219 Which, latter is connected With the'supports 210 so g5-:

passes through the end ofthe arm 217 and .through the slot 226. Thus it will be seen that by loosening the pin 227 it may be adjusted in the slot to raise and lower the endmeans whereby the papers may be elevated is to oscillate or move the fingers or partially ejected from the pocket after the paste has been applied to the wrapper and the flap turned over so as to force the papers into the bite of the rolls 208,209. Any suitable means may be provided for thls purpose but a simple and eificient means will now be described, reference beingy still had to Figs. 4 and 5. Pivotally supported by the shaft 195 are` ejector fingers 228 any number of which may be provided but in the present exemplification two only are shown. These ejector fingers are spaced from each other and are preferably connected bymeans of a hub 229, which latter is sleevednupon the shaft 195 to oscillate thcreabout. The forward extremities of the fingers 228 are preferably curved as at 230 to conform to the contour of the lower edge of the paper and project across the bottom of the pocket into the spaces between the forks or guides 192 and are adapted to normally rest or stand adjacent the bottom of the pocket, and in positions to receive thepapers so that the lower edge thereof will rest upon the fingers when the paper is in the pocket.4 In. order therefore to eject the paper from the pocket all` that is necessary 228 about th'e support and with respect to the pocket, at the proper time. This may'be accomplished by `means of a cam 230 on the shaft 197 and this cam is preferably of th box typo so as to impart 4a positive movement of the lingers or ejectors 228 in both directions. An arm 231 is pivotally' connected by one extremity as at 232 to an ear or extension 233 on the hub 229-and the other extremity of the armis bifurcated as at 234 to stand astride of the shaft 197. An antifriction roller 235 is supported by the arm 231and projects into the groove in the cam..

Thus it will be seen that when the .cam is rotated the anti-friction roller 235 will travel in the groove thereof and this movement. will cause a reciprocating movement position with respect to the rolls 208, 209, that the paper when ejected by the lingers ,228'will be forced into the bite of these rolls 208, 209.

In order to limit the forward movement of the ductor rolls 213 or their movement in la. direction toward the -pocliet- 191, there may be provided a lip or projection 236 on an extension 237 of the paste pot 183 (see also Fig; 9) with which an ear or extension 238 on the support 210 is adapted to coperate, and this ear or extension 238 is adapted to strike the projection 236 for arresting the movement of the support 210. The support 210 is preferably provided with an car or extension 238 projecting from both sides thereof so that the support may be used on either side of the machine as will be understood.

Motion is imparted to t-he shaft 197 .and to the rolls 106, 208, 209 and 185 in any suitable manner,v preferably in the manner which will now be described, reference being had more particularly to Figs. 1, 2" and 3. On the shaft 239 of the roll 106 is a gcar 240 which meshes with an idler 241 and this gear in turn meshes with a gear 242 on the shaft 197. The gear 100 which is connected with the shaft 243 of one roll of the pair 86 meshes with an idler 244, `and this gearin turn meshes with a gear 245 on the shaft 109 of the roll 208. This gear 245 meshes with an idler 246 which in'turn meshes with a gear 247.` Thus it will be seen that when the gear 100 is rotated motion will be imparted therefrom to the gear 247 and as this gear 247 is connected with the gear 241 the. latter will be rotated and will impart motion to the shaft 197 to operate the cams 196, 215 and 230. The gear 247 also meshes with a gear 24.8 which is connected tothe shaft (see also Fig. 5) of the roll 209 wherebyy motion will be imparted to the roll. The gear 241 also imparts its motion to the shaft 189 to which the gear 188 is secured, through the medium of the gear 190 on the shaft 139 and with which gear the gear 241 meshes.

It will `thus be seen that all of theseparts receive their, motion from the shaft 29.

The roils 106, 209 may be mounted in yielding bearings and the roll 10G may be `adjusted with respect to the coperating plying mechanism may be ,thrown out of operation by adjusting or releasing the gear 37 on thp shaft 38 in the manner already described/'and when this wrapper supplying mechanism is thus rendered inactive it is ad' 'isable that the ductor roll be rendered ir :tive so that it will not oscillate back and forth to come into contact with the paper in the pocket. This may be accomplished by adjusting the nut or collar 224 on the threaded extremity of the bar or rod 221 until it is in engagement With the guide 223 and this Will hold the anti-friction roller 21 on the arm 217 in a position that it will not beaifectedby the earn 215. This adjustment will in no Way/affect the oscillation of the pocket 191 Ior the operation of' the ejector fingers 228.

in the event that it is desired to deliver tlte 'papers from the fmachine in a quarterfold, it is advisable that the operating mech anism forsoscillating thekpocket 191, actuating the ejector fingers 228 and for oscillating the ductor rolls 213, be rendered in active and for this purpose the gear 24a (see particularly Fig. 1) is mounted loosely upon the shaft 197 and is provided with a clutch face 9.51. A clutch element 252 is provided l on the shaft 197 to coperate With the clutch free Q51. This clutch element 252 is adapted for longitudinal adjustment on the shaft 197 and is secured thereto for rotation there-I means for receiving and conveying away the folded article, and means controllable at will whereby thc article may be delivered t'lirectly to the said conveying mechanism in either stage of its folded condition.
